My Personal Ranking of Teen Wolf Media so far, CONTAINS SPOILERS
1. Season 3B, this is literally the best writing, directing, and acting of the series, with Dylan O'Brien flexing his acting ability, reminder he had no formal acting training, and the death of a main character cemented this as the best season for any YA show in TV history. The Nogitsune aka Void Stiles is fucking terrifying.
2. Season 4, this season is underrated to me, from Kate's return to Derek losing his powers. However this season saw the departure of Tyler Hoechlin from the series as a main cast member, and that may have soured this season for many people. Between the werejaguar and Peter turning heel the villains are at their best and we get the iconic scene of Derek turning into a evolved werewolf.
3. Season 6B, the end of the series kicks into high gear and doesn't stop until the end. Stiles, Derek, Jackson and Ethan all return after long absences and make the show feel like Teen Wolf again, the villain is awful but Theo and Liam easily carry a few episodes.
4. Season 6A, due to Dylan O'Brien needing to leave the show to film Maze Runner, the writer's decided to have new villains called the Ghost Riders kidnap Stiles and effectively erase him from everyone's memories. This leads to the best acting from Tyler Posey imo. This also had the return of Derek via archive footage and Stydia becoming canon.
5. Season 3A, The Alpha pack is severely underrated and I loved how Danny got some character development even if it was small.
6. Season 2, Underrated? Yes. Good? Ehhhhh. The Kanima is fucking iconic and Colton Haynes shows off how fucking incredible he is as an actor. Derek's "Alpha high" is also well played. Boyd and Erica are good side characters but they deserved better
7. Season 5, the first season without Derek and it shows, the show decides to hint at a next generation spin off (which never happened) with extra focus on Liam Dunbar. But it feels like Scott, Stiles, Lydia and Malia are given the backseat. Theo Raeken is easily one of the best villains, manipulating everything to his benefit until it back fires on him. However this season gets boring fast with twenty episodes following one story. My favorite scene is still Stiles finally snapping and punching Scott.
8. Season 1, the start of the series also happens to be the worst. Scott is at his worst but is still likable in parts. The actors quickly get better with every episode, Holland Roden definitely improves fast.
9. Teen Wolf: The Movie, I don't even want to talk about this. This is Scallison fanfiction with all the bad parts of fanfiction, Derek is killed off, Malia and Parrish are a thing, Stydia broke up because of a dream etc. However, I did like Crystal Reed's performance as Allison, balancing being numb and brainwashed and scared because she doesn't know anything, Eli Hale is the best part, and the scene of Derek, Scott and Eli roaring with all the rooms matching their eyes is iconic, the score helps a lot.

Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal
Original Platform: 3DS
Original release: 18th December 2014
Available to buy: No
Tumblr media
Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal was the 3DS companion game for the infamous Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric on Wii U. From a technical standpoint, Shattered Crystal is a marvel compared to the Wii U game, as I didn’t encounter any problems.
In Shattered Crystal, you can switch between Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Sticks – a crazy, paranoid badger with a boomerang – at any point by tapping the screen or the d-pad. All the characters feel the same in terms of how they run, jump, use their grappling hook and attack but they all have a unique ability: Sonic can dash through blocks (and gain extra height), Tails can glide and use gusts of wind, Knuckles can dig through tunnels and Sticks can throw her boomerang, mainly to activate switches.
When you have a decent platforming section, Shattered Crystal is really good fun, stringing together jumps, homing attacks and grapples is very satisfying. Sometimes having to switch characters can slow this down, but when the game lets you go fast, it’s a very solid game.
But Shattered Crystal isn’t about going fast. It’s about exploring overly large maze-like levels. To progress the game, you will need to collect Sonic badges. Completing each level will get you one, but this isn’t enough to progress, so you will need to find 6 blueprints and 4 crystal shards in each level. You need to find all of each in a level to get the Sonic badge (so collecting 5 blueprints in multiple levels is useless).
As you explore these maze-like levels you will encounter slingshots that send you to another part of the level, some of which will mean that you are now blocked, so if a collectible was there, you’ll have to do the level another time to progress. Other parts of the game can block progress backwards, too. On top of this, the first 5 or so levels you first play without all characters, so collecting them all is impossible first time round.
All this just makes the game slow, dull and frustrating. It’s a shame, because the core gameplay is solid. There are a couple of different types of levels: there are a couple of race levels which are amazing levels: it’s all about getting from A to B as fast as possible, there are multiple routes but generally the higher ones are quicker. The other kind are “worm tunnels”, where you run into the screen and move left/right to change path to dodge obstacles and collect rings. These levels are also really good.
While this game is based on the TV show, I don’t think it involves any of the writers from it. Sonic Boom’s jokes are surprisingly funny, while Shattered Crystal is just painful to read.

Kolchak : The Night Stalker at 50 - The Ripper
Tumblr media
One of our favourite shows is 50 years old today.
About thirty years ago, Friday nights were a different experience; some of the school year diligently did their homework, avoiding having to do it on Sunday night. The cool kids were down the park; the local teenage boys trying to woo the local teenage girls with cheap cider from a corner shop whose proprietor would incessantly complain about the crumbling moral fibre of society, yet whose only check for the suitability of the cigarettes and alcohol he sold to his juvenile customers was their ability to pay.
Then there were those who were glued to the TV, who fell in love with early evening comedy, talk shows, late night news analysis and cult films starting not long before midnight.
Guess which ones we were?
Around the autumn of 1991, a series of late night cult TV started on BBC 2 in the UK. Called The Mystery Train was presented by Richard O’Brien (he of The Rocky Horror Show and Crystal Maze fame) and came in three parts. A serial, a film (usually a 50s sci-fi / schlock horror flick) and a short. Much like the Saturday morning matinees at the cinema my Dad used to tell me about.
The serial that was chosen for this nighttime smorgasbord? Kolchak : The Night Stalker.
Fronted by Darren McGavin reprises his titular role of Carl Kolchak (or Karl depending on the week's writer) from the earlier TV movies, it continued the adventures of the old-school newshound whose stories always seem to end up taking him into the world of the paranormal, shadowy government conspiracy, corporate shenanigans or scientists who unwittingly have unleashed far more than they expected.
To keep him in check, as much as Kolchak can be kept in check, Simon Oakland also returned as his long suffering boss, Tony Vincenzo.
The show has been seen as the progenitor of the X-Files, but it’s really better. Yes, it is rather “monster of the week” at its core, but Kolchak’s conceit is better than either Mulder or Scully. Plus, it’s unencumbered by a story-arc that has to be periodically shoe-horned into the show.
With hindsight the show really sat well with The Mystery Train’s eclectic vibe. Funnily, for a while neither Pop nor I knew the other was watching the show; but once we found out, Monday break and lunchtimes at school were a breathless analysis of Friday’s episode. Those who had missed it, or worse still didn't care, obviously shrugged their shoulders and left us to it.
Analysis might be stretching it a bit far. More a mix of piss-taking at the quality of the special effects, the flatness or excitement of that week’s story or marvelling at certain shots and the atmosphere they managed to create.
Siskel & Ebert’s jobs, no doubt to their relief, were safe.
Why bring this up now? Well, exactly 50 years ago today, the 13th of September 1974, Kolchak : The Night Stalker began airing in the US at 10pm, on ABC with the Episode The Ripper. 
The show only lasted a season, and a shorter than intended one at that, but it has cast a very long shadow.
Plot
Tumblr media
The Ripper strikes. It's about to go down.
Quite straightforward this one. A series of murders in Chicago has similarities with those committed in Whitechapel, London during 1888. No-one other than Kolchak can - or is willing enough to - suspend belief and put the pieces together to do what is needed to stop the killer.
Guests
Darren McGavin and Simon Oakland were joined by :
Beatrice Colen - Jane Plumm
Ruth McDevitt - Elderly Woman
Jack Grinnage - Ron Updyke
Ken Lynch - Capt. Warren
Marya Small - Masseuse
Donald Mantooth - Policeman
Robert Bryan Berger - Mail Boy
Roberta Collins - Detective Cortazzo
Clint Young - Driver
and
Mickey Gilbert as The Ripper
The Scoop
Pop : I haven't watched this series for many years, but this one feels like it hits all the beats of a 'typical' Night Stalker episode.
Carl Kolchak stalking a supernatural fiend, mostly at night, to get a juicy story.
Police officers being thrown about by said fiend.
Some banter with an exasperated Tony Vincenzo, Carl's boss at the Independent News Service.
Light piss taking of Ron Updike, a rival reporter.
Footage of a Chicago 'L' train passing through the city (you're going to see this clip a lot!)
Since it's the pilot, that all makes sense, but it also exposes one of my main issues with this series - it's very much like a smaller scale, less impressive version of the 2 highly successful feature films, which many original viewers were likely to have seen first. Still, taken on its own merits it's a decent pick for a pilot. And just to be clear, I'd definitely count myself as a fan of this series.
Just like the films, it's all very darkly lit. Although it reminds me a little of the critique of 'Manos, the hands of fate" in MST3k - "Every frame of this movie looks like someone's last known photo!", in my opinion, the lack of light in many of the scenes only adds to the creepy atmosphere, and helps to disguise cheap sets and costumes.
There is a decent amount of outdoor footage, and pacing is also good for a show of this era. This is the pilot, so I'm interested to see if that continues!
Tumblr media
You won't catch him like that. Our hero holds court to an exasperated Vincenzo and an indifferent Police Captain, who's about to get his arse handed to him.
Tim : This could so easily have been a rejected script for a third Kolchak film and yes, it does feel a little rushed in places, but the script does a good job of reintroducing the Kolchak/Vincenzo dynamic to an audience who would not have had the luxury of pulling up a streaming service and re-watching the preceding movies.
It also pretty well sets up the character of Ron Updyke and his, albeit one-sided, rivalry with Kolchak. Jack Grinnage and Darren McGavin were good friends, which is immediately obvious from chemistry.
The tension and tone of the show is established quickly in the opening shots and maintained. Part of this is down to the theme by Gil Melle, part to the incidental music; that moment you hear the series theme and its flip from gentle to menacing half way through. Coupled with some really lovely cinematography, even if by modern standards, sometimes feels a bit shonky.
What the episode doesn’t do well is as obvious as what it does - away from the leads and the characters of Updyke and Captain Warren (Ken Lynch), there is a very real feeling that everyone else is wallpaper, only there to move the story forward to Kolchak’s next checkpoint.
Overall though, this was one of my favourite episodes back in the 1990s and on rewatching it didn’t disappoint.
Highlight
Pop : I love Kolchak's freak out when he's hiding in the ripper's wardrobe and is about to get caught. Darren McGavin really does give his all to sell this series, and his performance perfectly walks the line by treating the material just seriously enough to avoid undermining it.
Tim : Agree the wardrobe scene is a key moment, but the chase between The Ripper and Police is an exciting, if sanitised for 1970s US network TV, action scene that feels larger than the budget. The lighter, more comedic moments with the Independent News Service staff and the Police land well too, providing just enough of a counterpoint to the show's horror, to avoid seeming silly.
Tumblr media
"Miss Physical Therapist" in a Ripper story. Uh-huh. Right. "Contestants". Gotcha.
Lowlight
Pop : The ripper himself has no character - he's a silent killing machine.
He also manages to keep his Victorian era suit and cloak perfectly intact through decades of gruesome murder. Perhaps his clothes are also supernatural?
Tim : Jane Plumm’s given a raw deal in this episode; the way she’s introduced, you’re immediately made aware she’s a one dimensional. disposable character defined largely by her physique.
Score on the doors
Pop : I'll give this one 7/10.
Tim : Solid. 8/10.
Tumblr media
How can you explain it? Who could explain it? Who'd believe it? Carl ponders if his story will ever fly.

Learn About Escape Rooms in Leeds and Strategies for Success From Locked In Games
Tumblr media
When someone mentions 'escape rooms', your mind may be filled with preconceived notions. Conversely, you might be completely clueless and intensely curious to learn more. Regardless of your knowledge on the subject, this comprehensive guide will thoroughly explain what takes place in an escape room, along with helpful tips and tricks for achieving success. So rest assured, you'll gain a solid understanding through this guide. (Locked In Games: https://www.lockedingames.co.uk)
What lies in store during an escape room adventure? Upon arrival, a staff member will warmly welcome you and confirm your booking, ensuring all participants are ready for the thrill. Each company may have different rules, but arriving at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time is recommended. This allows the Games Masters to properly prepare you for the exciting challenge ahead. Once your room is ready, your Games Master will give you the green light, and the game will commence shortly after. Before stepping into the room, you will receive a briefing on the chosen game, providing further context and essential details to remember. Now, the real adventure begins. You and your team will step into the unknown and start the game. You have one hour to unravel mysteries, solve puzzles, and uncover clues to break free from the room successfully. Don't be afraid to explore – these rooms are designed to ignite your curiosity. Remember, some items may not be relevant to escaping, but it's always worth discovering!
Collaboration is the key to success in an escape room. Good communication and a positive attitude are not just helpful, they are essential. Working together and sharing discoveries and ideas is necessary because you and your teammate may each hold a piece of the puzzle. You will progress through the game stages with some luck until you can finally break free. Don't worry if you face obstacles along the way; it's normal for teams to get stuck, but your Games Master will be there to provide hints and support whenever needed. After the game – if you didn't quite manage to escape, don't be discouraged! Remember that these rooms are meant to challenge you, and most companies offer rooms with varying difficulty levels. So don't give up, as they say, 'If at first you don't succeed, try and try again'. And for those clever ones who manage to escape, bask in that accomplishment and enjoy the feeling of victory. It's a feeling like no other, a testament to your teamwork and problem-solving skills.
Escape rooms offer a plethora of entertainment for various reasons. They are an ideal activity to enjoy with a group, as it encourages teamwork in novel and exciting ways. This makes it perfect for couples, as working together towards a shared goal can foster stronger bonds. These rooms cater to all ages, ensuring something for everyone's enjoyment. While video games may offer a similar experience, escape rooms immerse you in the action and allow for more than just one player. It's hard to think of any reason not to try an escape room! But don't take our word for it - check out some honest reviews from satisfied customers on TripAdvisor. Before escape rooms became popular, similar attractions such as haunted houses, mazes, and scavenger hunts existed where participants had to navigate and "beat" the environment. The concept of solving puzzles in one room was also seen on popular TV shows like Crystal Maze in the 90s and replicated in early 2000s video games known as "Escape the Room." In 2007, Takao Kato brought this gaming experience to life by creating Real Escape Game (REG) in Japan. As expected, REG gained popularity, reaching places like San Francisco in 2012 and prompting the rise of similar companies in Australia and Singapore. This growth led to the evolution of escape room games, utilizing technology to create more complex puzzles. Today, it is estimated that there are over 50,000 escape rooms worldwide, each offering a unique experience - a far cry from the simple pixels of video games. Who can participate in an escape room? Anyone! Depending on the specific room, there are options for all ages and group sizes. Are participants locked in the room? No, it's just part of the illusion - you can leave anytime. Pregnant women can join the fun with prior notice to accommodate certain rooms. As for attire, wear whatever makes you comfortable so your brain can work at its best. While some companies may allow walk-ins, most operate on a booking system due to high demand. If you're late, there may be some leeway, but arriving early is best as rooms must be set up for each group. Booking can be done through the company's website or by phone.

Types of Mazes
World's Largest Maze: Samsø Labyrinten
Tumblr media
Samsø Labyrinten is approved as World’s Largest Maze by Guinness World Records. The maze is 60,000 m2, equivalent to 12 soccer fields.
The extensive trail system that has a total length of  more than 5,5 kilometres, is bordered by more than 50,000 trees and bushes.
Besides the experience in the labyrinth itself, you also get a great nature experience, and you may be lucky to see or hear some of the area’s 25 species of birds or other animals e.g. hare, fox and deer. Corn Mazes:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Corn mazes are paths that are cut or plowed in a field of corn (maize). Typically corn mazes are used in a lot of horror scenes which is not what I want to do with my game as I want my game to focus more on the puzzle aspect within the maze itself. Shinning Maze:
Tumblr media
The film contains two mazes, the hedges outside and, per Wendy's characterization, the Overlook. The hedge maze appears in two forms, the 13-foot-high version outside and the model inside the Overlook. In the overhead shot zooming down on Wendy and Danny in the center of the maze, the maze differs from the map outside and from the model having far more corridors, and the left and right sides are mirror images of each other. The Overlook significantly breaks down into two sections, one old and one remodeled; one past, one present. Crystal Maze TV Show:
youtube
The Crystal Maze TV Show has teams of players explore 4 themed Zones, collecting crystals by completing 1 player, 2-3 minute, physical, skill, mental or mystery games.
Even though the show has the word "Maze" in it, it seems to be more focused on the players solving puzzles.

Who needs to run a time machine when you can just watch an old production. What a thrilling drama! Took me back in time, when I was a teenager and we didn't have cable or access to the internet 24/7. The highlight of my days was watching tv in my room after school while pretending to do my homework (Don't follow my example. I went to public schools and the studying materials were easier than today). Anyways, I would immediately switch to "Saudi Channel 2 -KSA 2-" that aired global series in English or dubbed in English (& sometimes subbed in Arabic but butchered with editing scenes out). Anime plots were changed to be suitable for the Arab Muslim viewers. Even though I didn't understand much of English, I was still entertained by everything that channel offered.
Some shows I vaguely remember: Georgie! (ジョージィ!) - Alpen Rose (アルペンローゼ) - Takeshi's Castle (風雲!たけし城) - The Crystal Maze - Antonella (1992 TV Series) - Lazos de amor (Τies of love).
Tumblr media
YASHA (Demon)
Gripping. Heart tugging. Fast paced. Haunting. You've been warned! I'm so impressed and in awe that I'll start reading the manga this drama was based on. How to move on?!
It's like a one-man show. Ito Hideaki played two roles that are polar opposites and had me glued to my small windowed mode the whole time.
I think you can really appreciate the songs and the instrumental music if you are a child of the 90s. The nostalgia hits hard and I had a blast.
rated: ★★★★☆ 8.0
Special thanks toxicbybritneyspears for the recommendation ♡

The first riddle went poorly, which meant we got to see the FMV animation in which the FMV model and the actor in the (stock?) footage clearly have different hair lengths.
Runner TCBR: I hope it's not Rat Maze. If it is you'll know because two things will happen. The first will be Rat Maze. The second is I will groan.
...
TCBR: So now we get to the seventh floor and it'll spring Rat Maze on me.
*It proceeds to spring Rat Maze on him. He groans.*
Yeaaaaaaah, this is a slow, slow FMV maze.
The game apparently contains authentic 1996 lizard stock footage!
Our player character's shirt is so VIOLENTLY magenta. So is the actor's.
Belgian commentator Neetsel: I'll be honest, I'm bad at this in French, so in English at 4 AM you won't get help from me.
Spocklan, The Commentator With The Answers In The Notes: I've already forgotten what he said.
TBCR: Yeah I'm having a 4 AM brain fart.
And then they get the gear challenge.
TBCR: So fun fact, the solution to this is the same as the TV show. It's the same on The Crystal Maze as well!
Neetsel: That's really faithful.
TBCR, getting The Headless Woman: Okay so viewers at home, turn your headphones down. This is your warning. When we go the wrong way it'll make a sound -
*The most incredibly awful metallic drone you have ever heard in your life*
TBCR: Yeah so unfortunately our ears have to bleed.
We get a ballista-based challenge which features the FMV player character winding it back.
Very, very fast, if you're doing enough inputs. The couch commentators both crack up.
TCBR: Yeah, so my arm's thrown out.
Neetsel: So does one of the people running back affect the amount of money you get in the end?
TCBR: I have no earthly clue.
Neetsel: I think the lesson learned is that doing math and solving riddles at 4 AM is a bad idea.
But the non-game show-enthusiast USians in the audience DID get a 4 AM lesson on European game show history. And discussion of some of the later games, which include the phrase "Wii and Nintendo DS" and, predictably, "shovelware." (Redundant, I know.)
Peace Egg, the host: Yeah I don't know how to say this, there are a LOT of games based off of game shows like this. They just come out of nowhere, and then they show up on Awful Block.
